===''Spinster: Making a Life of One's Own''=== In her 2015 New York Times Bestselling book, Bolick asks and answers a question she posed in a 2011 cover story for ''The Atlantic'': "How does a woman move through life alone?" Heather Havrilesky, writing in ''The New York Times'', gave the book a positive review, saying that "what ''Spinster'' actually offers is an idiosyncratic journey through Bolick's decades-long exploration of how to live independently, with cues from an assortment of nontraditional women."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Havrilesky|first1=Heather|title='Spinster' by Kate Bolick|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/19/books/review/spinster-by-kate-bolick.html|work=The New York Times|date=13 April 2015 |accessdate=5 March 2016}}</ref>
